China is helping Russia in the production of drones, space-based capabilities, and machine-tool exports vital for producing ballistic missiles. China is the key factor in revitalizing Russia's defense industrial base post-Ukraine invasion.
US officials believe persuading China to stop supporting Russia's military industrial base is a game-changing move to aid Ukraine. The US has warned China against backing Russia's military efforts.
More than 70% of the machine tools imported by Russia in the last quarter of 2023 for building ballistic missiles came from China. 90% of Russia's microelectronics used in weapons production were imported from China last year.
